I have some really cool friends. When I tell people I know a guy that can take a bull whip, wrap it around your neck and crack it at the other end, they all say, SURE SHANE!

My friend Ed Eldridge came to visit me and our old agent Bob Roth from Greensboro, NC. Ed travels the US as Buffalo Bill. Ed is a multiple World Champion Quick Draw artist. Ed uses the real colt 45’s, a very heavy pistol to do his quick and trick draw stunts. Ed did the trick stuff for Clint Eastwood in The Rawhide days. Ed is also a world class Rope Twirling champion and also a World Champion with a Bull whip! Ed and I both are carrying a few extra pounds since our touring days but Ed was able in the 99 degree summer heat to entertain my friends, Drummer Bill Scott and his wife Kareen. Don’t blame that extra baggage on The Girl Scout Cookies. We both need to pick up our toys and begin to practice again!

Thank You Cindykay54, I've managed to convert pieces of Ed's School Demonstrations from when he was a young gunslinger. I have some rope work and some more whip tricks. You can follow this link

to some of his Quick Trick Draw routine. When I can I'll post some rope work. Ed really likes NC and flies in from Nebraska from time to time.
